chatanga1 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I have been looking around for books concerning the era of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and after upto the annexation after the Lahore Kingdom. I have noticed that there are quite a few books available on this history timeline, and wanted to ask forum members if they have read any of these books and which ones they found good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsingh101 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Interesting. I'd never heard of that author J. C. Dua and he seems to have written a bunch of books about various aspects of Panjabi/Sikh history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSD1 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 The book on Hari Singh Nalwa by Vanit Nalwa is very good. As is the First Anglo-Sikh War book by Amarpal S Sidhu. War, Culture and Society in Early Modern South Asia, 1740-1849 by Kaushik Roy is supposed to be good as well, but I havent read that one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chatanga1 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Have heard of some books that are quite rare now, that cover the history of 1800-1900 ish. the first is "The Khalsa Darbar" by Sita RAm Kohli, published in 1920s. there is "Sri Fateh Singh Pratap Prabhakar" written in 1980 and published by Joginder Kaur, which is a thesis on the original written by Ram Sukh Rao, which was originally written in the 1920s. Anybody know of any other obscure books that woudl furnish good detail about this time period? also for you southerners, these books are available to read in SOAS library. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
